As some know we had our first set of twins last spring, long story short.... I leave the calves on the cow for 7 to 9 months, depending on what's happening with weather, ect. I have a bottle calf, twin, that is about 2 months old, I'm really not ready to pull her off a bottle yet, she's pretty well bred, she eats plenty of calf starter. At this point I'm more concerned about milk belly than the cost of the milk replacer. So my question is how long would YOU keep her on milk replacer if cost is not a factor at this point? To be fair she is currently on one gallon of milk replacer twice a day, I keep calf starter grain in her feed bucket and she has lots of good grass. So please keep it mind mind, I did not say money I's not an object, I said at this point it's not a concern.... Is 6 months too long?
Thanks,
Alan
